Earlier this fall, Hyde became the first Gator to pick up
the SEC Defensive Player of the Year award since the league began naming an offensive and defensive
player of the year in 2004. She made her fourth appearance on an All-SEC team as
a senior (first team in 2006, 2007 & 2009; second team in 2008) – joining
former Gators Danielle Murphy and Abby Wambach as the other Florida players to
earn a spot on an All-SEC team each year. Hyde was a second-team selection to the
2009 TopDrawerSoccer.com Team of the Season. She played the entirety of 17
matches in 2009 and finished her UF career with 78 complete matches played – a record
for UF field players.

Fraine is the first Gator goalkeeper to earn NSCAA
All-South Region first-team honors and only the second in the program’s 15-year
history to appear on a region team (Jordan Kellgren, 2002 second team). She was
an All-SEC first team selection in early November and named goalkeeper for the
first team on TopDrawerSoccer.com National Team of the Season. She led the SEC
with her goals-against-average of 0.61 in league play. Fraine registered a
career-high 10 shutouts in 2009. She shared the 2009 lead in shutouts in SEC
matches (6) with LSU’s Mo Isom.

Thompson led Florida with her career-high totals for goals
(10), game-winning goals (5) and points (22) in 2009. Thompson started 23 matches
at either forward or attacking midfield. She also was named to the All-SEC
second team.

Tymrak, one of only two freshmen to earn 2009 NSCAA
All-South Region honors, also earned a spot on the SEC All-Freshman team. She
led UF with seven assists, which stood second in the SEC for assists in league
matches. Tymrak was third among the Gators with 17 points and fifth with five
goals. In November, Tymrak was named a second-team selection for TopDrawerSoccer.com’s
Rookie Team of the Season.

During the
2009 season, Florida turned in a record of 16-6-2 and won its fourth
consecutive SEC title with its 8-1-2 league record. The Gators earned its 13th
NCAA Championship berth in 2009, advancing to the NCAA Second Round.
